Cannabis poisoning in kids soar after edibles legalized in Canada
Three provinces that legalized cannabis edibles in early 2020 saw an increase in accidental cannabis poisonings among children aged 0-9 that was more than double that of Quebec, where edibles are prohibited, according to a new Canadian study.

Look .out 👆👆👆 for the handle above, , he got shrooms ,lsd, iboga, ketamines,c🥰ke, cannabis,psych meds, dmt trips, acids, chocolate bars psilocybin and he ships too!…
Dumb parents leaving their edibles around within kids reach. Bad parenting.
Alcohol. Cigarettes. Pharmaceuticals. This is a complete joke 😂🤡
"Adult" Cannabis Consumers deserve and demand equal rights and protections under our laws that are currently afforded to the drinkers of far more dangerous and deadly, yet perfectly legal, widely accepted, endlessly advertised and even glorified as an All-American pastime, alcohol. Plain and simple! Legalize Nationwide Federally Now!
I think poisoning is probably the wrong term. I mean, obviously, they’ll really mess you up if you over do it, and kids would probably have a pretty rough time, but they’ll be fine ina few hours. Give’em a nap and some cold juice or a slurpee and just hold the little buggers close to make them feel safe.
Priority one is to ultimately keep your kids out of your stash. Rough trips aren’t something the kids should have to deal with
Now do myocarditis, neurological disorders, increased mental illness & SADS.
This Network SUCKS. Cannabis Poisoning, Lol. You Clowns.
10mg … highly concentrated lmfao

Well at least it’s not meth right,
Unless kids are manifesting the cannabis candies with magic, I’m pretty sure the issue is irresponsible parents.
reefer Fn Madness 2.0
I think children have a bigger threat that doesn’t get talked about.
I hate how irresponsible parenting is capping the strength of edibles and drinks to 10MG. It’s so weak
Alcohol poisoning is much worse 🤷♂️
Parents have to do better because everything is dangerous to an unattended child.
This is not true, if it was, each story would have hit the news. Show the cases.
Then take it back like u do everything else ie guns.
I want to see how happy the kids are
this sort of thing is why we cant have nice things
There labeled saying what they are
joke journalist. lol
Instead of blaming the edibles try blaming the idiots that leave them accessible to kids. If you’re a parent that doesn’t have the brains to secure your stash leave the edibles alone.
Make edibles distinguishable from normal children’s candy
The Prohibition of cannabis is the wrong message to send our children while we glorify, advertise and promote the much more dangerous use of alcohol like it’s an all American pastime. The worst thing about cannabis and our children is what happens to them when they get caught up in the criminal justice system due to it’s prohibition. Protect “The Children” and Our Neighborhoods Through The Legalization and Regulation of Cannabis Nationwide!
Poisoning… seriously the click bait should be challenged in court immediately….drama queens no doubt…
oh no… I thought drugs were a health food
Cannabis poisoning? Or just heavily stoned. You literally have to consume your bodyweight in weed to be poisoned by it..
What ? You mean legalizing a drug was a bad idea ? Who would have thought
There will always be irresponsible parents. Fortunately, nobody has ever died of cannabis consumption, so the kids will be just fine. But authorities need to follow up with proper counseling for both the children and the parents. And cannabis education should start at a young age, just like teaching kids not to use alcohol. Some still will, but more can be done to reduce the numbers.
Shows how little the Canadian governments at all levels care about Canadian children. They want your vote …they’ll destroy your families
What message are we sending our children when it is easier for them to obtain cannabis now with it being illegal than it is for them to buy alcohol? It doesn’t take the intellect of a genius to understand that stores card kids for I.D. Thugs and gang members do not. They also push the real hard drugs on children. Stores do not. Cannabis legalization will make it harder for children to obtain it.
No cannabis should look like candy period, make them taste however you want, but, they should look like pills in childproof bottles.
They need to stop packing these is ways that would attract young kids. Maybe even in child proof containers.
Yawn
Regarding “The Children”,
Let’s not use “The Children” as an excuse to prohibit and criminalize adult use of a natural plant far less dangerous than perfectly legal alcohol because nobody condones child use, and this is about allowing adults only to choose cannabis. It’s our responsibility as parents by to educate our children on drug use. It’s not the government’s job to force Draconian cannabis Laws upon every adult citizen under the guise of protecting “The Children”.
Isn’t that the purpose of legalization initially? To ruin the next generation?
stop with the rediline give them edibles
So they continued eating it? Sounds like they didn’t know that they were edibles kept eating them then the high came crashing down on them all at once it isn’t bc marijuana is dangerous it’s just user error never take a ton of edibles at once also they need to make it where the absolute minimum age to smoke or eat marijuana is 16 if your parents are fine with it and 18 to go to the store and buy it yourself
Poisoning lol ok libs if you say so
The amount allowed in edibles is not enough to affect my finger.
Stop saying stupid things like “Poisoned by cannabis” or “cannabis poisoning”
Crazy that these don’t sell in childproof containers.
It’s not the fault of cannabis edible and the endustry that some parents are morons. It IQ tests were used to determine what can and can’t be bought, we’d suffer a economic depression pretty quickly.
That said, the packaging of some edibles should be tweeked to no look like typical candy packaging you’d find in a variety store.
Since it’s discovery in approximately 50 B.C, Cannabis is responsible for zero deaths.
Dear news reporters, while kids shouldn’t be eating these, it’s not "poisoning". Poisoning is injury or death due to swallowing, inhaling, touching or injecting various drugs, chemicals, venoms or gases. These kids are not expecting the effects they have or not ready for them to be as strong as they will be, but no significant harm will come to them, they mainly just need someone to sit with them and help calm them down and ride out the effects.
